Not regarding the frozen gun/ammo specifically, but if you've ever listened to the official Breaking Bad Insider podcast, Vince and his crew repeatedly mention how the writing staff does an obscene amount of research about the plausibility of things that take place on the show. So while they certainly do take liberties with real life science (bath tub acid scene specifically), if something happens on the show, it could probably happen in real life.

Walt: What are you doing?Jesse: Why did you do it? Why?Walt: Jesse, Gus gave me no choice.I had to call the DEA to protect my family. What else could I do?Jesse: No. No, you son of a bitch.You know what you did.Walt: Okay, look, just-- just put the gun down. Okay? Just put it down, and we'll talk. All right? You tell me-- tell me what it is you think I did.Jesse: Brock-- why did you poison him?Walt: Who's Brock?Jesse: You saw him in my living room just last night.You came to my door, and you looked right at him, so don't tell me you don't know him.Walt: The boy. Jesse, I have no idea who these people are. Now, please-- Okay, that's Brock, and-- and he was poisoned?Jesse: The ricin! He's dying because someone gave it to him, and only you and I were the only two people on earth who knew about it.Walt: Now wait a minute.Wait a minute. Maybe he went into your pockets and accid-- Jesse: No! I had it. I had the cigarette with the ricin in my pack this morning. The last time I saw Brock was last night, and this morning I switched the cigarette into a new pack. There's no way Brock took it himself.Walt: Jesse, you're not thinking clearly. Listen, you said it yourself that you had it this morning. Then when could I have possibly gotten it?Jesse: You-- You had Saul do it.Walt: What?Jesse: Yeah.
Yeah, I went to his office.
He called me and just had to see me today.
His big man-mountain bodyguard patted me down.
That's when he must've stolen it off of me, right? That's the plan? Was that the plan?Walt: Jesse, why? Why, in God's name, would I poison a child?Jesse: To get back at me.
Because I'm helping Gus, and this is your way of ripping my heart out before you're dead and gone.
Just admit it.
Admit what you did.
Admit it!Walt: I did not do this!Jesse: Shut up! Stop lying!Walt: I'm not-- I'm not lying.
I'm not lying.
Just listen to me.
Listen to me.
What would I have to gain? What possible, possible could-- Who-- Who would-- Oh, my God.Jesse: Hey.Walt: (Laughing)Jesse: Stop laughing.
Stop laughing! Walt: I have been waiting.
I have been waiting all day, waiting for Gus to send one of his men to kill me and it's you.
Who do you know who's okay with using children, Jesse? Who do you know who has allowed children to be murdered? Hm? Gus! He has-- He has been 10 steps ahead of me at every turn, and now the one thing that he needed to finally get rid of me is your consent, and, boy, he's got that now.
He's got it.
And not only does he have that, but he manipulated you into pulling the trigger for him.Jesse: Only you and I knew about the ricin!Walt: No! You don't even believe that with Gus' cameras everywhere.
Please.
Listen to yourself.
No, he has known everything all along.
Where were you today? In the lab? And you don't think it's possible that Tyrus lifted the cigarette out of your locker? Come on.
Don't you see? You are the last piece of the puzzle.
You are everything that he's wanted.
You're his cook now.
You're the cook, and you have proven that you can run a lab without me, and now that cook has reason to kill me.
Think about it! It's brilliant.
So go ahead.
Go ahead.
If you think that I am capable of doing this, then go ahead.
(Walt puts the gun between his eyes)
Put a bullet in my head and kill me right now. Do it! Do it.Jesse: I'll do it.Walt: Do it. Do it.

please: like Saul's drawer full of cell phones that are "always charged" when he hands them out? How many of us can go half a day without charging our phones?

And the fact that 51 yr old cancer survivor Walt can dig a hole by hand as big as a minivan, fill it with 6 - 8 55 gal. barrels, then cover it all up. And to top it off there's no dirt mound?... then he's able to drive home - then he passes out.
